Hi I am looking for input on a few things about my.
1) What is the best transmission to wheel option for 550-600HP.
2) Half shaft or CV joint kit who makes the strongest/most reliable?
3) How hard is it to change an output shaft on the zf trans? Does the whole trans have to be taken apart?
The reason I ask. Follows
I broke my half shaft, so I will need to replace it. Supposedly my dad also broke a half shaft while he owned the car. After some internet shopping it appears these come in pairs for around $950. This was more than I had hoped to spend, but I guess it is what it is. However IF I spend that much I want the right half shafts. My engine makes about 550 HP, so I need something tough. My other issue is that I was trying to get the half shaft off where the car broke, so that I could push it into a nearby driveway where my friend lives. I was trying to rotate the shaft to gain access to the last bolt of the 4, and was prying the half shaft, and I broke the output shaft flange, more than half of the hole is still on the flange, but I need to fix or replace it. I might be able to weld it back on. There is enough left on the flange, that the torque would be transferred to the part that did not break.
